Trott, you talented little tech goblin. You are my hero forever for the top tier sponsorship stunt and great sound design!
Mark: Trott I told you not to over complicate things.
*Does an entire news broadcast*
I would like this comment but I dont wanna change the number
(Edit) NOOOOOO SOMEONE LIKED IT :'(
Cheese and Biscuits....Trott..your D&D Beyond add was F**KIN’ EPIC. Now we need Mr Chris Trott vs Mr Sam Rigel in an epic D&D Beyond add off
I think if those two collaborated, it'd break the internet lol
Ive been saying this since the start of Aerois. Sam x Chris would be amazing. But yes would also probably break the internet.
Mark saying he angry at Trott because he said to Trott, "No Hat Films shenanigans", and here i am thinking, you can pull the boy out of Hat Films, but you cant pull hat Films out of the boy
Truest statement ever made lmao
frog films
Mark is so invested in these characters and their stories. I'm watching 4 years after the fact, and I think it's been two episodes in a row now where he has become emotional while speaking as an NPC. It's incredible. What an empathetic person he is, and what a storyteller.
I just gotta say, Mark and Tom’s setups look awesome. And the overall quality of this stream is great for being so quickly put together. I would not mind more episodes like this even going into the future if for whatever reason you guys cannot make it into the office sometimes.
I agree I would like the background music a little less though

You loveable son of a gun
@@overlycynicalstudios5280 I do what I can.
One day you will rise to the level of Flando (crit role's guy for timestamps)
@@jamesmaceaveli6679 I doubt it, I don't have an eye for details like that guy. But I appreciate the sentiment.
1:20:00 some weird shit goes on in Kim's room
I love how fast the party forgets that they can get half priced healing potions made by their doctor if they remember to restock ingredients
1:21:35 the look on Kim's face when she realizes one of Eterna triumvirate's name is Tassadar, the same as Callas's flagship to which they now have access to :D
I finally found the episode that Covid started to impact!
Cannot believe that Trott's "Save Valla, save the world" joke went unnoticed at 41:20 (ish). Good Heroes reference!
I think Chris Trott and Sam Riegel are similar in that they will happily play the fool and yet underneath, they are actually frighteningly clever. You just have to watch enough DnD from High Rollers and Critical Role to notice :)
It definitely requires alot of smarts to play an idiot
Trott is 100% the 'best' mechanical DnD player of the group, for what it's worth. He seems to understand the system and his class pretty decently, he just chooses not to play as optimally as he could.
@@Derploop He can strategize pretty well if only he can remember what his abilities are
pretty sure he and mark have been playing since they were kids
Yup it was pretty obvious after around episode 4 that he knows a lot more than he's letting on. He's an excellent player and roleplayer.
Aerois is the one thing that is getting me through these terrible circumstances
Mark: “the air ship encounters no difficulty’s”
Me: “That’s a first”
I'm getting so tired of isolation. My cat is doing what she can, but it's just the two of us and I've been feeling really lonely today. I turned on UA-cam tonight and there was a new High Rollers and I literally shed tears. Thank you so much for contributing this little bit of normalcy!
I imagine the isolation is hard on people with lives... For me it's just business as usual.
U doing OK my guy?
2:33:11
"EVERYTHING!"
The most raw and visceral answer I have seen Tom Hazell give.
I feel like that was 4 years of mark humes frustration of these guys looting nothing and taking no gold reaching through poor tom Hazel's broke ass soul.
Still making my way through these and this is a weird flashback to the pandemic. I think your reactions to the 1000 donation is so sweet
Marks voice acting for ciaska and kalus arguing feels so real and tense. This guy is a legendary dm
Funny (and sweet) moments tag
(Feal free to add your favorite moments)
3:16 - ALL PRAISE STARBANE
3:40 - starbane is the ultimate cult
37:17 - what if we kill the pseudo dragon Haha jk. Unless?
39:00 - plenty o' time to kill a dragon
39:46 - reinforcements getting a head start
48:20 - quill loses another body part... it's his head
1:18:28 - harold smile
You’re awesome 👏
Aila walks through a forest
Another Aila appears on top the tree nearby.
A1: Hey that's..!
A2: That red head of all places...
A1: I FOUND YOU, FAKER!
A2: Faker? I think you're the fake Aila around here. You're comparing yourself to me? Hah! You're not even good enough to be my fake.
A1: I'LL MAKE YOU EAT THOSE WORDS!
LoL
Yay, i'm happy you made this. Critical role didn't do, but you did!!!!!
The redemption of Herald's purpose is beautiful.
Does Rhiannon know that she can prepare 3rd level spells like: blinding smite, dispel magic and even REVIVIFY? These spells can be life savers...
I'm sure she does, she just hasn't had to use them yet.
Ah but may i present to you the alternative. SMITE
Revivify in particular needs diamonds, so not exactly easy to have on hand
How did you guys manage to pull off this quality on such short notice? I’m blown away, great session guys proud of you all!
Also helps that four & a half of the six of them already had home stream setups
ARGhostie four and a half? Which half of them streams?
I'm mostly a podcast listener for HR, but I come every week to check Trott's add. 👌
It never lets me down! 😄
The music at 1:19:03 when Herald says "You are my Prime" is so fitting
Love me some Stormchaser downtime! The epic and dramatic stuff is incredible, but I'd watch these characters doing pretty much anything, just hanging out, honestly
Did anyone else notice how much clearer and beautiful the intro looked? Tom do it in this manner from now on!
I loved trotts ad for dnd beyond it was amazing
i mean as someone that watches both highrollers and critival role and a huge fan of sams ads for dnd beyond i think trot has reached point were his ads are compiting with sams XD
And so it begins. I am going to miss them all being in the same room. Maybe one day they can return to that, though maybe by now they prefer it this way
Trott is such a great audio mixer. I love the way he does background music
At around 50 minutes, those eyebrows from Mark when Tom was connecting the dots about the cradle XD
I was going to say that mark is looking like a snack today but he is a full course meal
And here.. Corona shows its impact... ooof .. it breaks my heart to hear them all say: it will be just like before.. sooon, it will all be fine...they dont know yet, that i sit here one year later, still in shock about how long this has lasted and what it has done to our world.. I cant believe it
You folks are amazing, being stuck at home for probably month *and* losing DnD streams would have wrecked me
Them: Let's shop around, get a quote from all of them.
Also them at the first offer: Great, here's 125 gp! Dx
Mark: This is a temporary measure!
Me: Laughs/Cries in 2022.
Dammit Trott that beautiful music made this episode so epic!
I was catching up on HR, keeping an eye on the dates they were uploaded, waiting for when this happened. It's a very weird time capsule to come back to but glad they got it sorted and were able to keep it rolling.
Same, I've been dreading the comments in particular
This music work is the best so far in the series. Maybe the best music work on story telling that I have experience. Absolutely splendid
The biggest cliffhanger yet: What did Lucius do to his hair?
The music is just amazing... Go Chris!
Just got to this episode after watching every episode, love seeing the dynamics and I love this series! It’s interesting to see the shift
High Rollers, you can make the most trivial of things an adventure. Thanks for another amazing episode.
I have watched a minute of this and i kinda prefer it this way. Maybe i just wanted to see a change after all these years. but this is comfy
The party would hate my character, he got 132,000 gold for killing a bunch of changelings... what he didn’t know at the time, was that he was a changeling, he has spent 110,000, and he still has so much.
This feels so weird but im so glad to have u guys back, we’ll get through this together 😂
Ran my very first game online with my ddal group over discord last night. It was weird and tech issues abound but it was super fun. We all find a way to do what we love in these difficult times
The music in this episode was absolutely fantastic.
Thank you for keeping the game going while being safe and for giving Trott that glorious new toy. LOL
That DnD Beyond ad was the most amazing yet! Incredible!
having finally watched all high rollers content, and all of critical role, i now feel so lost waiting for weekly episodes
I think I shared Trott's facial expressions when Herald suggested that she could go out and "collect" other guardians, considering the amount of collecting that she did originally when corrupted. I really want to believe that she changed, but it also makes me feel uneasy with sentry being ok with giving her a blade and just sending her out own her own supervised.
Here to shout out to the amazing team and the team behind the team of high rollers for continuing this campaign thru isolation and social distancing,, i think its very easy to see how far you have gone to keep the weekly/biweekly shows coming to the fans and couldnt appreciate it more... look forward to more coming and possibly an isolation mini series if your all bored enough with the time?? Id watch a 2nd campaign in the situation im in :)
Keep up the great work, audio is much louder in this format which i also appreciate,
Nova keep hunting
Lucious keep leading
Sentry keep protectinh
Aila keep smashing
And quill dont ever stop asking questions...
Much love from aus...
Forgot to mention mark as i only referenced characters but wow what a story... ive never even played dnd but im sucked in this story and group of people is amazing to watch
Being in the US.... that Happy Mothers Day sincerely gave me a heart attack.... I thought for a second i was an awful son and forgot XD
Part of me was hoping they would have a random Spell Clash arena in the Archipelago
And here we begin the time capsule lock down episodes. What a reminder of what we all suddenly faced, not knowing it would be an entire year before things began to return to a semblance of normalcy.
You guys have no idea how badly I’ve been waiting for this. Much needed video to get me through a somber day in isolation
Thank you thank you thank you! I have been jonesing for some D&D and you guys saved me. My games have been put off and most other streamers are shutting in and off, respectably. You guys have so much fun playing and it really lifts my day to watch
The "this goddamn music" momment was utterly epic. Literally, what a fantastic bit of a Roleplaying, made it all the more perfect with a stunning music choice. Really incredible that trott picked that song live. It's amazing.
Oh I love you guys so much. I can't see anyone in my family and instead I can see you guys.
Great episode and a welcome journey into a world that isn't enduring a pandemic. Thanks for taking me away for 3 hours!
Thank you so much for continuing to play from home! #rollonsundayregardless
Thank you! i am so happy you guys kept going even if it is like this for now :)
Yaaaaassss! Been waiting so long for this episode. I hope you’re all doing well, I know I’m bored as hell having to stay home all the time. But now I have plenty of time to set up online dnd for my group 🙃
What? They're never going back to the table? Gasp!
*le gasp*
I know. Much sadness. Never table again. So sad. End of time. So permanent.
Oh no what a catastrophe... that’s definitely happening... oh noooooooo...
Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication to the show! This is a happy distraction!
Thankyou highrollers for making my isolation just that little bit better :)
I'm watching this years later, on Mother's Day, in the US. The coincidence, it is huge!
2:33:10 - Kim = “What are you gonna buy with it?” - Quill = *triggered* turns into a angry bird “EVERYTHING!!!!”
In a alternate universe; Howard and Lancian are travelling the world with 2 others on a quest of greatness
Vala: I'm starting to understand his points better and I don't want to.
*Flashback to Starbane*
Starbane: There's a giant god monster trying to eat all of creation and it needs to be stopped.
*Flash forward to Lucius on the airship*
Lucius: This isn't good, she's being manipulated.
ASDJHDNKJ what the fuck is their issue. Zarkira ordered them attacked then melted her operative's mind in his sleep; 'Yep that's Starbane, watch out Nova'. It's like they're just ignoring all the facts because they're stuck in the mindset of Starbane being the big bad while Hadar is super charged on god juice, trying to rip every atom of creation apart and Starbane is the only thing standing between them and him. How the hell is the pitch 'I can save the universe but I'm going to have to fastball special your house into annihilation incarnate to do it' a bad one?
I mean I love this episode and all but... Holy sh*t that was the best dnd bit on here in my opinion
He never told the other players about the fight between the gods and the halls breaking apart because he was distracted by all the Starbane/Nova stuff
The music swelling at 1:19:00 was too perfect
THANK GOD THIS ISN'T GONE!!!!!!!
Aila did not use her coin, she could get all kinds of stuff for them, maybe she could just wish armour plating to the ship, not sure, because I do not remember the details of that thing. Maybe she could just make her hammer better with it.
Also Sentry's Flame Lance, did it get better as her whole body was upgraded to Prime?
If I could make an animated version of Aerois I would definitely put more emphasis on the romance between Lucius and Prince Arudan because I feel like there was something there from the start.
The star mother got a bad case of “Pocahontas Hair”
Also does anyone imagine root and or sentry look similar to the iron giant?
I imagined Root like a very tarnished Iron Giant.
Going by Mark's description and the Prime Matrix I can't imagine him as anything but a variant form of Optimus Prime.
I see both as optimus prime, especially with the "visor", which reminds me of prime's triangle face mask.
Thank you for doing this, it soothes my soul in this difficult time.
Oh hey. Navalonde is pretty similar to an area in my world. Thats neat. Maybe ill throw a reference in regarding the fleet structure being inspired, since the orcs in my setting were space/planar travellers, in ancient times.
Next time they're in combat lucius should cast dragon's breath (lightning) on aila
I have finally caught up again to the present, and because of the corona virus I am able to watch the stream live. Normally I am on band practice when the streams happen.
Also I like this set up. Though I enjoy you in the studio with the table, this set up works as an alternative.
they should have asked who was the guy starbane called master during the nova vision incident
Oh my God, I've already seen Mark has a cardcaptor Sakura wand, which I love, and then Rhiannon has Ivysaur on her Mike, and Bulbasaur is my favourite pokemon ^^
I asked for one of those as a kid because I love Cardcaptors. Never got one because it was in the girl's isle, so my parents didn't think that's what I wanted as a little boy.
I know I'm late, but I heard about you guys when Rhiannon and Mark showed up in the recent Idle Champions game so its taken a while to catch up this far. My workdays are 10 hours long in my car and the podcast version of this has been a great way to pass time quickly.
Had to pop over to the UA-cam version to give Chris Trott props for putting all this together. Been wondering what you guys did in March 2020.
2024... I remember this period in time. Just got here from the future, wondering how long they'll be at home for. Many months most likely
Finally reached the Lockdown episodes. Funny looking back at this.
Yes. This format. Always, corona or not
I feel like next week we need an overlay of the players blood pressure. I imagine Kim's and Rhiannon's numbers would be off the charts.
Been watching from the beginning of the series over the last few months. The "happy 2020" a few episodes back made me realise covid was coming. Will be interesting to see how it impacts things as episodes progress!
And if you look to your left ladies, gentlemen and all others, you'll see the episode where Mark reminded the players that they need to look for loot after they enter or before they leave an area.
calling it now, Valla is going to rebirth as Ciasca. You can't tell me I'm wrong.
No. No. NO. MARK NO STOP NOW! DON'T YOU DARE DO WHAT I THINK IS COMING!
Terrifying theory below read at your own dismay.
Calus didn't want to use Siaska's plan because it involved the sacrifice of her self and as mentioned they are deeply in love. He scattered her accost the world(killed her) because he knew she would not truly die. Now not only dose he seek to bring her back, by destroying the cradle(aka killing? the titans), but he also still seeks the world engine so as to prevent Hadar from consuming everything, while also preventing Siaska from needing to be sacrificed.
The problem is our heroes are working to stop Calus from doing any of this. They seek to prevent the fall of the cradle and there for the resurrection of Siaska, and they seek to stop Calus from getting the world engine there for destroying all life on the planet.
Now for the terrifying part. Should our heroes prevail against all odds and defeat Calus and stop all his plans then that leaves them to deal with Hadar on their own. The most powerful man in the world and A goddess could only think of but two was of stopping Hadar, and with Calus' plan out of the question that only leaves Siaska's plan. Since Calus didn't offer himself, or one of his subordinates, as the sacrifice, as his personality would suggest he would do to save everyone, that can only mean only a god can make that sacrifice.
Siaska is still scattered accost the cradle, meaning there is only one person with divine potential left that we know about.
Don't you dare Mark.
Big oof
OMG IF THAT HAPPENS IM GONNA CRY FR
Well, my guess is the Elenasto family are descendants of Hadar. The twins are a masked vigilante that somehow knew to escape the explosion and it's real convenient that Trott has those two affinities in this campaign 🤷♀️
the ad is amazing!
"this is a temporary thing"
1 year later:
People coming back through and watching in a year will have this wonderful event to date the high rollers streams- lol
SPOILERS:
Ok, I may be paranoid, but they were talking about selling to a starbane agent at the blacksmith... whose sign was a BLACK DRAGON. the Chromatic dragons were agents of starbane. I get that it may have been soot or something, but Mark had a smirk as they talked and reveal information. Did they just meet a remnant member and not realize it!?
@@sam86242 yes but I was referring to the dragon on her sign. The dragon color matters not the Dragonborn color. At least I think that's what mark said
hell yes that music, trott!
